How to Cook Pineapple Jelly

You can cook this jelly from fresh or canned pineapples alike. It is almost translucent, yet with a rich taste and flavor. If pineapple is fresh you’ll have to dip it into boiling water for some minutes as we did in our recipe. If you take canned pineapple slices just put them into forms. The gelatin bag usually carries the information on the right proportion of liquid and gelatin.
